I live in the south too and completely understand your concern, I'm terrified of driving on black ice after a bad experience driving home from work one morning a few January's ago.
Since then, I know to watch the forecast closely and I keep an overnight bag packed and ready, including a single Coleman air mattress. The last time I was scheduled during a winter storm, most of our ICU staff ended up staying, working out what needed to be done for their kids and pets with family and friends. Not everyone has resources available but for those who can stay or can still make it to work, it makes every difference.
